Jim Casey goes live walkabout in downtown Huntsville this time returning to the scene of many seemingly unconnected events that deserve to be revisited.

Huntsville Depot Freight Building Removed
Built ~1860 the remains of the historic building had been preserved with hopes of rebuilding on the remaining structure.
Building Walls And Fences
With all this TOCC about building a wall between the US and Mexico, I thought I might have a few examples that the next president might want to consider before getting started. This photo gallery consists of images, a few of which have been seen on TOCC TV before, that are mostly unremarkable except that they have some detail or an aura that makes them somewhat interesting in their own right.

Prosecuting SUPER COP !!! Ricky McCarver: Martyr For INJUSTICE
As for Police Officer Ricky McCarver, any nine year veteran police officer who is that stupid, or that incompetent, or who simply cannot control his own algirythms is simply not fit to be a police officer. Or, he is guilty of a subversive conspiracy to deny constitutional rights, false imprisonment, and a host of other illegal activity. Either way you look at it, Ricky McCarver needs to exit to find another job in a capacity that he can handle, maybe making car tags in the federal penitentiary.
Huntsville City Depot Transportation Bus Station Complex Maps
After reviewing all the information available, it turns out that the current Huntsville City Transportation Bus Station is built immediately on top of the original Huntsville Train Shops that were built around 1860. In fact, it seems highly likely that the digital time and temperature display located in the center of the bus terminal awning, is just about exactly in the center of the original turntable location. The point of impact of the Lee High School Bus, when it fell from the sky like a bomb, is also marked on these maps. Check it out.
Slum Lord Unregulated: Tommy Battle
Mayor Battle Tear That Building Down!
Which really just leaves a bunch of unanswered questions. Who owns the property? Is there even any hope of restoring the building? How can the City ignore what has become not just an eyesore, but an extremely dangerous attractive nuisance? (There was a death in the building recently, about 2 years ago, that was investigated as a suicide.) Early Works recently indicated that funding has been received in order to do major renovations to Constitution Hall Park, but no mention of the Historic Huntsville Freight Building was made.
BREAKING NEWS: Skatepark Shootout Last Straw
I guess if you escort your kid to the park, if you can avoid an argument with gunfire, you can keep an eye the kid. But, if you want to introduce you kid to the seedy underside of low level gang activity, or maybe worse, just turn ’em loose to hang out there.
Huntsville Depot Ghost Train
I would like to tell you about all the planning and expensive equipment that went into capturing this shot, well actually two shots, but I really can’t. It was strictly serendipity.
Historic Depot Freight Building Fire
Of course, the passenger train hasn’t stopped at the Huntsville Depot for many years, and
although freight trains still run down this track, little freight is downloaded
here anymore either.
